Square setup on 550ix

I would really like to run a square setup on my car, anyone have an idea what the widest wheel I can put on my car without rubbing or extending past the fenders? I have DINAN springs and the car is lowered (maybe 2" or so)

I was thinking the max I can run is a 9.5 wheel with a 275 tire on all corners?

Is the reason for no replies that there is no love for the square setup? I'm wanting to do a 20" square setup on my 550i M-Sport sDrive and want to know the same thing - what is the consensus for 20 x 10 and what offsets and tire size? I drive nearly 50K miles a year and would prefer to rotate instead of discard tires that often.

Thanks for any help that can be provided

EDIT - not lowering the car, don't want stretched tires or spacers, and trying to keep it as close to flush with the body front and rear without ordering anything different between the front and back

Take a look at this thread below. He has 20x10.5 ET20 on all 4 corners.

I think I had seen that thread, but I didn't comment there because I don't want to stretch tires, so 10.5" width would be too much. If I did a 10" width and changed the offset to fit 245's, no drop, what would the offset be for all four corners?

If ahmad_1290 is running 20x10.5 with ET20 all around, why not try 20x10 with ET20 with 245? It will be approximately 7-8mm tucked compared to 20x10.5.

Thanks for the info, sorry it's taken so long to get back to you on this. I am still considering this, but some things have changed. Car is lowered ~ .75" to 1" and that has added slight negative camber in the rear. Instead of 10" wide, I'm thinking of doing 9.5", and the recommendation was to do somewhere around ET20 with 255 tires. Is that crazy to run on the front as well?

Probably. The only setups and wheel sales seem to always be staggered not really much square... Not to mention people on forums feel people have time to search every single page to see if someone has posted about that topic before...

I understand it could be annoying to but everyone does not have the time to search pages and pages to find an answer especially when the question is not asked as much as staggered per say.

I'm in the same boat but def do not want to go as wide... I want no wider than 9 inch wheel.. I just want to find out if i can run the 19X9 style 345M wheel square and cannot seem to get a straight answer....

I noticed the OP asked that question about 6 months ago i hope he was able to resolve that..
